Florida Bar Finds ‘No Probable Cause’ That Gaetz Tweet Violated Rules Of Conduct

August 15, 2019

The Florida Bar has found “no probable cause” that U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz violated their rules of conduct in a tweet earlier this year about Michael Cohen.

In the February tweet (pictured below), Gaetz accused Michael Cohen of infidelity just before President Donald Trump’s former attorney testified before Congress. Gaetz said at the time that the complaint to the Florida Bar was “frivolous”.

“The Florida Bar has informed me that the Grievance Committee found “No Probable Cause” that I violated the rules of my profession., Gaetz said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon. “they are taking no disciplinary action against me & are sending a letter of advice. I thank the Bar committee members for their sound judgment.”

The Florida Bar will officially issue a “letter of advice” to Gaetz on Friday. The contents of the letter will not be public record until that time.

    REGARDING:
    “I think Gaetz just wanted Cohen’s family to react like the Tumps have reacted to finding out Donald had an affair/affairs with porn star/porn stars,”

    I am sure the Trump family figured that out by now since he was shacking with some while married to the mothers of others…all of which he bragged about.

    Our representative did it to discount the documented evidence of a former employee/fixer “ratting” the boss out. And he did it by making claims without naming names.

    So you say he WANTED to hurt the Cohen family. Just think about that a while.

    David for better people

    Not a Surprising Pass, given the Gross Mentality of the Republican-reicht, and Most Destructive Mentality of the Perpetually Lying Reich! If you’re living with Any Medical Issues, they’re the Enemy of the TRUTH!!

    Just another privileged politician whose daddy got him out of his DUI’s. Media desperate as he is, he may as well be Kim Kardashian.

    Representative Gaetz is an outstanding member of congress. He is doing an impressive job.

    Sad how you can’t go on here and read stories without all the leftist trolls and their comments.

    The lack of professionalism shown by some of these high and mighty politicians shows us much about their true character.

    I don’t see anything wrong with the tweet, I think Gaetz just wanted Cohens family to react like the Tumps have reacted to finding out Donald had an affair/affairs with porn star/porn stars, or at least to react like most other Republicans have done with our presidents affairs, or any of his other foolish actions………just turn a blind eye.
